The President's Management Agenda establishes and defines the Administration's key management priorities and initiatives, setting forth a long-term vision for an effective Government that works on behalf of the American people.

Performance management in the public sector is an ongoing, systematic approach to improving results through evidence-based decision making, continuous organizational learning, and a focus on accountability for performance.

The Federal government sets both Priority Goals – cross-agency and within agencies – that are near-term, implementation focused priorities of leadership as well as strategic objectives that are comprehensive of agencies’ missions. View these current goals and description of each below.

Cross Agency Priority Goals

Cross-Agency Priority (CAP) Goals are a tool used by leadership to accelerate progress on a limited number of Presidential priority areas where implementation requires active collaboration among multiple agencies.

Agency Priority Goals

Agency Priority Goals (APGs) are a performance accountability structure of the GPRA Modernization Act that provides agencies a mechanism to focus leadership priorities, set outcomes, and measure results, bringing focus to mission areas where agencies need to drive significant progress and change.
